How donations are used

Does my gift really help the people I think it does? 

Our trustees visit our projects regularly to ensure that all donations go directly to the people who need help. 

 

Donations are used for food, water, firewood, wages for locally employed staff, education and basic necessities like soap and toothpaste. 

 

We do not pay our trustees or pay the cost of their air fares. And, we don't engage in expensive advertising campaigns.

 

We use Currencies Direct to send money overseas because they give us a good rate, they don’t levy charges, and we can trace the donations to the beneficiaries’ bank accounts.

Legacies and wills...

... generosity living on...

If you would like to leave money to Footsteps International in your will:

  • Use a solicitor to ensure that your will is worded correctly

  • Unless you specify otherwise, legacies will be allocated to general funds to be used where the trustees feel the need is greatest

 

If you are the executor of an estate which includes a bequest to Footsteps International:

 

  • Please let us know

  • Please send us a copy of the will when the legacy is disbursed so we can inform our accountant..
